Comparison Review

Comfort
The GMC Acadia offers rear passengers about the same room to stretch out as the Hyundai Santa Fe, with comparable head- and legroom. The GMC Acadia will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The GMC Acadia is somewhat more expensive than the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Dimensions
Since the GMC Acadia is much wider than the Hyundai Santa Fe, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the GMC Acadia, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Performance
The GMC Acadia has a little more horsepower than the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the GMC Acadia transmits power to its wheels a bit more effectively than the Hyundai Santa Fe.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the GMC Acadia and the Hyundai Santa Fe. The GMC Acadia has a roomier cargo area for putting your bags or other items than the Hyundai Santa Fe.
